Fisherlicious

Found in the Bear Cross corner of Kinson, this long-running chip shop has served the western side of Bournemouth for years, trading previously as Bear Cross Fisheries before taking on its current name. It remains a familiar evening stop for local families after a proper fish supper, with everything fried to order so the batter comes out crisp and golden rather than tired from sitting around. The counter team are known for a friendly, no-fuss welcome.

The menu keeps to comforting British staples, from freshly cooked Cod and a crunchy Battered Sausage to chips that regulars love piled up as Cheesy Chips, plus homemade-style pies and a freezer of ice creams for afters. It holds a top Food Hygiene Rating of 5 and scores 4.4/5 on Uber Eats, though wider reviews are a little mixed, so expectations are best kept to honest, traditional chippy fare. For a quick local takeaway in this pocket of town, it does the job well.
